Cybersecurity Preemptive Readiness Services

Cyber attacks are constant and evolving. Zapata Technology takes a proactive, offense-informed approach to cybersecurity — identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities before adversaries can exploit them. Our TS/SCI cleared cybersecurity engineers bring real-world defense experience to every engagement.

Preemptive Cybersecurity Services

We assume every network has been compromised. Our preemptive services validate your security posture, identify gaps, and provide actionable remediation — aligned with DoD Zero Trust mandates and NIST frameworks.

Penetration Testing

Network, application, wireless, and social engineering testing. We simulate real-world adversary tactics to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in classified and unclassified environments.

Vulnerability Assessment

Comprehensive scanning, analysis, and prioritized remediation planning. Continuous vulnerability management aligned with DISA STIGs and NIST 800-53 controls.

Red Team / Blue Team Exercises

Adversarial simulation and defensive response exercises that test your organization’s detection, response, and recovery capabilities under realistic attack scenarios.

Security Architecture Review

Assessment of network architecture, segmentation, access controls, and data flows against Zero Trust principles and DoD reference architectures.

Compliance Gap Analysis

CMMC, NIST 800-171, RMF, and FISMA readiness assessments. We identify compliance gaps and build actionable Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M).

Incident Response Planning

Development of incident response plans, playbooks, and tabletop exercises. We prepare your team to detect, contain, and recover from security incidents rapidly.

Our Methodology

We follow NIST SP 800-115 and PTES guidelines, ensuring systematic and thorough coverage across all assessment phases.
